About this title - Landscape Evolution: Denudation, Climate and Tectonics over Different Time and Space Scales
The morphology of Earth's surface reflects the interaction ofclimate, tectonics and denudational processes operating overa wide range of spatial and temporal scales. These processescan be considered catastrophic or continuous; depending on thetimescale of observation or interest. Recent research had requiredintegration of historically distinct subjects such as geomorphology,sedimentology, climatology and tectonics. Together, these haveprovided new insights into absolute and relative rates of denudation,and the factors that control the many dynamic processes involved.Specific subject areas covered are sediment transport processesand the timescales of competing processes, the role of the geologicalrecord and landscapes in constraining different processes, thenature of landscape evolution at different spatial scales andin contrasting geological environments.
